A Kadokawa Haruki Office Presentation Distributed by Toei
It is not known whether Kamui is godly or demonic, but again tonight, a harsh wind blows overthe cold earth. People call it " Kamui Mau (Wind of the Gods)," and they know life in the sound of it striking the land, and prostrate themselves, quivering.
Ji...Jiro!
Sign: " Sai Inn"
The Village of Sai, Shimokita Peninsula
Sister!
M...Mother!
Mother!
Mother...!
KAMUI NO KEN
Murder!
Come here! Jiro killed Tsuyu and Sayuri!
Did he really?!
How horrible!
No...No, I didn't do it!
What do you mean, you didn't do it?!
How could you kill the people who found and raised you, a foundling?!
You ungrateful beast! You're a devil!
It's not true! It wasn't me!
Then what's with that dagger? That's blood dripping from it, isn't it?!
Th...This is...
Parent-killers get crucified!
IT WASN'T ME!

Hey! Anything over there?
No! Not a sign! Keep looking!
Directed by Rintaro
Boy...
You need not fear me.
It was not you who killed your mother and sister...
...I know very well, you see.
"Shinobi:" anotherword for " ninja." The culprit is a Shinobi.
By now, he should be cornered at Hotokegaura.
Prepare for your death, Tarouza!
There's no escape for you now!
Hanzou... show yourself!
Was it you who killed my innocent wife and daughter? Or was it Tenkai?
I killed them, on orders from my Master.
From the beginning, it was a trap, to draw out and punish the traitor...
...who ceased communication with us!
It's been twelve years since you could last enter here...
...without breaking the Matsumae Clan's Shinobi sphere of control.
I'm sure you didn't know that the murdered wife of yours, Tsuyu...
...had previously found and nurtured a foundling.
He was a boy...
...the half-breed offspring of a Japanese and an Ainu!
Surely you've guessed.
When you infiltrated Shinopirika- Kotan long ago...
...you wedded an Ainu girl--it's the child she gave birth to!
See it with your own eyes!
You understand what to do, Boy?
Jiro!
Ji...
Ji...Jiro...
We must not let even a single villager who knows of this incident live.
Burn the village down!
A traitorous Shinobi meeting his fate in front of a temple... he is fortunate.
We all become Buddha when we die.
May your soul rest in peace.
Do not worry. It seems that the crabs will take care of burying the body.
Boy, I hear that you're a foundling, is that right?
Were you ever told about your true father?
My boy, your father might also be a Shinobi.
How about it, Boy? Do you wish to solve the mystery of your birth?
"These two things may be keepsakes of your real father and mother."
"There will come a day when that can be verified, I feel certain."
Matsumae, Ezo
Take him away.
Yes, sir.
Marker: " To Tengen Temple"
You must not be impolite to the Master.
"Master?"
He is the head monk of Tengen Temple, and in this part of the country...
...he is revered as a living Buddha. He is Bishop Tenkai.
Young Lord, I have brought him.
Young Lord!
Sanpei, over here.
I shall train you in the way of the Shinobi.
I will not take it easy on you. Understand that?
Very well done.
You've become strong, Jiro.
As I have promised you, I looked into your father's past.
Your father was indeed a Shinobi.
Tarouza was his name.
Deep in the Ezo Region, there is a river that the Ainu people call " Shishirimuka."
At its headwaters, there is a rather mysterious mountain.
They apparently call it, " Kamui Nupuri."
It is said to stand high in the untrodden region, far beyond the fog...
...and the Ainu people worship it like a god, and fear it like a devil.
It is a sacred mountain, the existence or lack of which no one knows for certain.
Tarouza, it is said, stole into Shinopirika- Kotan, near the foot of that mountain...
...then deliberately cut contact with his clan.
For what purpose did he head there, and why did he disappear?
That is the matter which concerns you. Find out for yourself.
Until it is settled, you need not return.
Shingo!
Here.
The prey flies off.
Chase him like a beast, and make him fall into the trap.
We are gambling that Jiro, when made to balance between life and death...
...will act in the same manner as Tarouza!
Do not fail!
Understood.
I hear that you're off on a long trip.
Mr. Sanpei, do you have ties to any Shinobi?
Huh?
Do you know someone named Tarouza?
No, I don't .
Your arrival is most unexpected, Your Excellency.
I stopped by here on my way to the Hakodate administration office...
...for the deliberation on foreign ships.
So you say, but you're really here to hasten our search, are you not?
The fate of the Shogunate depends on it. There had better not be any failures.
It is said that, " Gold is shaped by fire, people by words."
"Even though it is not the flower..."
"...the nightingale crying inside the flower is beautiful."
"If you want the flower, first tame the nightingale."
Do not let it worry you. The arrow has already been loosed.
"Mother!"
"Mother! Mother! Hurry! Hurry, I tell you!"
"This child is Jiro. Please take care of him."
"Are you going to raise this child?"
"I feel as if he was given to me in place of my husband..."
"...who disappeared while out fishing."
"I'll see what I can do."
"Hey! Look! Wait!"
"Jiro, over here!"
Stop! Stop!
My father is ill! I beg you, please!
Shut up! You stay out of this!
Please help him! My father's gonna be killed!
Who the hell are you?!
Father! Father!
Don't let them get away!
All is going according to plan. Well done.
Sir.
All that's left now is for that Ainu kid to lead Jiro to Shinopirika-Kotan.
I'm Uraka.
I'm Jiro.
What'll you do now?
I'm going back to Kotan.
I see.
Are you remembering your lost father?
Yeah.
Any other relatives?
My mother's in Kotan.
What about you, Jiro?
I'm a...
"Foundling!"
"Jiro, the Foundling!"
"Foundling!"
"These two things may be keepsakes of your real father and mother."
"There will come a day when that can be verified, I feel certain."
"Ji...Jiro...!"
Why, this is the Dagger of Kamui!
I see.
So, you are the one who carries this dagger.
Just now, you called it, "the Dagger of Kamui."
Is there some special significance to it?
Nobody knows for certain at what time, or under what circumstances...
...that the dagger came to be in this village.
Yet...
...it is said to be a gift from the Gods of forest, water, and earth.
For generations, it was safeguarded as the village chief's family treasure.
But about twenty years ago, the dagger was handed...
...to a man who was to be married to the village chief's only daughter, Oyaruru.
However...
...taking Oyaruru and their newborn baby...
...and carrying the dagger, the man fled Kotan, and was gone.
W...Was his name, " Tarouza?"
I have not heard.
Then, what about that person, " Oyaruru?"
One day, she came back alone. Then she left Kotan...
...and began a quiet life along the upper reaches of this river.
Jiro...
...you're alive...
Jiro! My son!
Here's a change of clothes, all right?
Yes, Mother.
You look just like him.
Huh...?
Is this my father's ?
Good thing I saved it...
...since I buried what few keepsakes there were in the cemetery.
Did my father pass away?
It's never been confirmed, but chances are, he is no longer alive.
I... even believed that you, too, were no longer alive.
"This child is Jiro. Please take care of him."
"I will draw our enemies'attention."
"I will entrust your life and Jiro's to Shishirimuka's care ."
"Listen to me."
"As soon as you see me go over the cliffs..."
"...take the boat and leave here at once."
"Understand?"
Was my father Shinobi?
How did you know that?
A man named Tenkai...
Tenkai?!
The devil who brought misfortune on our family!
Huh?
Tarouza came here, to Kotan, under orders from Tenkai.
That's not possible!
It's true.
But when we wedded, and you were born...
...he left Kotan in order to get away from Tenkai.
"Jiro!"
"Has Tarouza solved the mystery of the treasure?"
"It would seem you do not know."
"Never mind."
"Observe closely the traitor's fate !"
"Tarouza!"
Arororo... Call his name...
...l, too, bring about trouble.
I stabbed my father with my own hands... ...l, too, bring about trouble.
Arororo... If you call his name...
"Jiro!" Arororo... If you call his name...
...your heart will be upset, and you won't be able to sleep.
Father! ...your heart will be upset, and you won't be able to sleep.
Hoochippu... I feel as if I'm drowning in tears.
J...Jiro! Hoochippu... I feel as if I'm drowning in tears.
Hoochippu... Put this love to sleep.
Hoochippu... Even my being able to see him...
Hoochippu... ... was in a momentary dream.
Hoochippu... Now paddle, put out your canoe.
What kind of man was my father? Hoochippu... Now paddle, put out your canoe.
What kind of man was my father?
Hoochippu... Go on, paddle, to the land of sleep.
A strong, tender-hearted man. Hoochippu... Go on, paddle, to the land of sleep.
He treated me gently... Hoochippu... Go on, paddle, to the land of sleep.
We lived together for only a brief time... Hoochippu... Go on, paddle, to the land of sleep.
...but he gave me a lifetime's worth of happiness all at once. Hoochippu... Go on, paddle, to the land of sleep.
From what Tenkai said...
...Tarouza supposedly tried to solve a treasure mystery...
...but for us, there was no greater treasure than you.
From now on, let us...
Mother...?
Jiro...
Mother...
Murderer!
Parent-killer!
You shall be cursed!
To hell with you, mother-killer!
There's been some kind of a mistake!
To hell with you, mother-killer!
Please help Jiro!
To hell with you, mother-killer!
That, I cannot do.
To hell with you, mother-killer!
The crime of mother-killing is too great.
It is the law of Kotan.
Murderer! It is the law of Kotan.
Jiro! Struggle more! Despair more!
After your scolding, show me a good counterattack!
Damn you, Tenkai...
How dare you be so impudent!
Uraka!
Jiro, quick! Now's our chance!
What's become of my mother?
She's been buried in the cemetery, and her soul has taken flight.
That new Menokokuwa, that's your mother's .
What about that stone grave?
I don't know. It's most likely for a Japanese.
Thank you for everything, Uraka.
I don't want to cause you trouble, so let me say farewell now.
Jiro...
Take care. We may meet again someday.
Good-bye! Be careful!
"From what Tenkai said..."
"...Tarouza supposedly tried to solve a treasure mystery..."
A treasure mystery?! What could it be?
"...since I buried what few keepsakes there were in the cemetery."
Kamui Nupuri...
"This child is Jiro. Please take care of him."
In heaven and earth, you are all I can rely on.
Whether going along with you will bring about misfortune or hope...
...for now I do not know.
But there is no going back now!
Kamui Rhythmless!
Young Lord, I've caught Jiro!
All right, let's go!
Where to?
Hidaka Pass.
The assistance that Magoroku went to call upon should now be there.
That suits me fine.
What?
Ji...Jiro!
Suppose you sing a little.
What is the mystery of the treasure all about?
No...No one knows for certain.
But it's supposed to be buried somewhere.
Meaning it hasn't been found yet.
Ta...Tarouza might have gotten some leads.
Why did you put me through such an ordeal?
We thought that if I ran you through the same circumstances as your father...
...you might act like him, and uncover a clue...
So for that reason, you took the infant me all the way from Shishirimuka...
...to the beach at Sai?
Such trouble you've gone to!
You... put... in... the water...
I did. The same paralysis potion you used.
Listen!
If Jiro has something in his possession, make sure to steal it!
That is the Master's order!
It's Jiro! After him!
lt...lt's not possible!
Fool!
Take that as a souvenir, and tell Tenkai...
...that I've become a stray Shinobi!
That will do you no good!
You will be destroyed, whatever you do!
Ah!
Missed out on dying, did you?
I doubt that one would go out of his way to be resurrected in a place like this...
...but as long as you've been saved, just give up and recuperate.
Get that noxious viciousness out of your system...
...and wake up your hunger, why don't you.
I am Andou Shouzan.
As you can see, I'm a hardheaded old fart.
When I was playing around with toys like that...
...a bunch of fools in high official dress came...
...and told me what I could and couldn't do.
They were such a nuisance that I fled the country, drifted here, and settled.
Because whatever I might be interested in is none of those thieves' business!
"Thieves?"
We are all born naked, and die naked.
In the meantime, all we do is work, eat, shit, and sleep.
Whether you're a samurai, a farmer or a fisherman...
...whether you're Japanese, Ainu, foreigner...
...or any other living creature, it doesn't make much difference.
In other words, those Shogunate idiots who eat without working...
...are lowlife thieves!
I take it you've been bullied by those thieves.
The realm that those incorrigible fools govern...
...is this place that looks like a piece of snot!
This is Ezo.
This enormous place is foreign land!
China, India, Russia, Portugal, England, America.
These days, the sea surrounding Ezo is a main thoroughfare for foreign ships.
Master! It's a ship!
There's a ship passing by!
It's here! It's here! It's here! It's here! It's here!
You see, someday, I'm gonna sneak aboard one of 'em...
...go over to a foreign land, and let the greedy Shogunate idiots kiss my ass!
Well? Eh? Well?
Master!
Huh? Oh! My apologies! Because we rarely have house guests...
...l've completely forgotten you were injured!
This girl found you unconscious and assisted me in treating you.
She's Chiomapp.
I'm Jiro.
Master, are you familiar with foreign writing?
Huh?
I see.
There must be a good reason for Tenkai to take such an interest in it.
This is a duplicate I made, just in case.
Please tell me what it means.
Very well.
It would seem that this man Tenkai...
...is a Shogunate guardian who brought Ezo under direct control...
...of the Shogunate as a countermeasure against foreign ships...
...and was later sent to Matsumae.
That being the case...
...you're asking the Shogunate for a fight!
At any rate, I shall head over to Edo, and report to His Excellency.
Yes, sir.
Along the way, I will bring back the Matsumae Three, who're monkeying around Edo.
Now, where are Sanpei and Oyuki?
I have left them behind.
Edo
When an agent I dispatched to Satsuma checked the accuracy...
...of the legend of gold that is said to be told by the wealthy landowners...
...of Amami Island, I experienced some feelings of doubt.
Yet now we see that the search was worth it.
Hmmm... And, if the treasure can indeed be found, we can apply military force...
...against either those foreign nations seeking open trade with us...
...or, under the pretext of expulsion of foreigners...
...against those clans plotting intrigue as well...
...and thus we can rapidly rebuild the framework of the Shogunate!
So, what does this message say?
"Hear O Heavens and give ear O Earth for the Lord has spoken."
"Where the Sun rises and the Moon rises the Elysium lies."
Hmm... " Where the Sun rises and the Moon rises..." What does it mean?
Here you go.
Thank you.
I would like some, too.
Here, Master.
I've got it!
Th...That's it!
That's it! That's it!
Here!
The Sun and the Moon! Jiro, try taking that mother-of-pearl off!
There's nothing.
Oh!
Why, this is...
...America! It's a map of America!
Uh, if you cross the sea, you can go to America like this.
During the winter, it should all be ice, so you should be able to walk there.
Uh, though, if you go by Kamchatka when spring arrives, there'll be foreign ships...
...so if you can sneak aboard one, the rest is easy, nothing to worry about.
The time has come to use this.
Gold dust, that you can use to buy your passage.
You should be able to make use of it!
At any rate, once the mystery is solved, Jiro will be eliminated.
Indeed.
The agent of mine who found this, who went by the name of Tarouza...
...turned out, in fact, to be someone sent from Satsuma.
What?!
I believe that he was a Shinobi...
...dispatched by Saigou Kichinosuke, a Satsuma guardian.
Then you are saying that the Satsuma Clan is involved in this matter?
Do not be concerned.
If we get it first, there will be no problem.
Huh?
We, the Matsumae Three, have now arrived!
Jiro says he's going out to hunt.
My wounds are healed, and it'll help me regain my strength.
For all you've done for me, I have no way to pay you back...
...so I'll catch a deer or something for you.
"Pay me back?"
Yeah. "Pay me back?"
There is something that I want. Your shuriken.
Huh?
This?!
Why are you in such a hurry?
Tenkai's people have caught up with me!
I leave at once!
Chiomapp, where did you put our boat?
By the shores of Seseki.
Right.
Listen up.
These are the words translated from the secret message in your dagger.
This is the map of America. Don't you lose them!
Yes, sir.
This treasure could well be enormous.
Hey, I thought I told you to go back!
Always follow your dreams.
Make your hopes come true. Got that, Jiro?
Yes, sir.
Having met you...
Watch out!
M...Master!
Master! Please hang on!
Having met you...
...I feel that my life was not wasted, after all.
Hey... I thought I told you... to go back...!
"We are all born naked, and die naked."
"In the meantime, all we do is work, eat, shit, and sleep."
"The realm that those incorrigible fools govern..."
"...is this place that looks like a piece of snot!"
"Oh, this is getting really interesting..."
"I don't know why, but I'm getting really excited!"
You bastard... you have an ally!
I have an ally?!
Jiro!
You know what Jiro and the deceased old man...
...have discovered, what they discussed.
If you tell me the truth, then neither you nor Jiro will have to die.
Huh?
Jiro...
Fool!
W...Wait!
Thank you.
Who are you?
I'm Jiro.
I'm Sam.
Why did you save me?
I want to board that ship.
Ship? My ship?
I want to go to America.
OK, Jiro, my benefactor!
I won't let you get away, Jiro!
Hmm... I see. This is for your passage, eh?
All right. I'll give you passage.
Huh?
One in advance. Another when we reach America.
Fine. But cause any trouble...
...and you'll be asked to get off my ship. Understand?
What about her?
Let's drop her in the ocean.
No! The lives of everyone aboard are the captain's responsibility.
You take her. Look after her.
No!
Those are my terms.
If you don't like 'em, get off my ship.
What's wrong?
She has a fever.
I'll go find some medicine.
It's been two days now...
You should have some soup or something.
Jiro, get some rest.
Right now, the S.S. California is here, in the Strait of Kamchatka.
We'll probably stop by these ports, and then go to California like this.
Where is Los Angeles?
It's ... here.
And where is the island nearby, named Santa Catalina?
Santa Catalina... Let me see... Maybe this?
Storm's getting worse.
The sooner you eat, the better.
What do you want?!
What did you do to me while I was unconscious?!
Wh...What did I do?!
I changed your clothes, and fed you, and...
Why did you save me?!
Why...?
Why didn't you kill me?!
Why did YOU save me?
It's a lie!
This guy, who was after the gold dust, tried to kill me!
Whatever the case, the trouble started after you boarded my ship.
Since there's been trouble, I've no choice but to ask you to get off my ship.
That is cruel! Jiro is my benefactor! If Jiro goes, I go!
You're a slave! I won't tolerate that attitude!
"A slave?!"
I bought Sam with my own money. Therefore, he's my property.
Would this be enough for what you paid for him?
That's not quite enough.
Please stop, Jiro!
This is all that I have.
How about it, Jiro?
It's not as if we can't work something out, if you apologize to him.
There is no reason why I have to apologize.
No matter what?
That's too bad. I'd gotten to like you, but this is unfortunate.
Captain!
From now on, Jiro is your master. Understand?
It won't be a nuisance if you hold on to it, will it?
Take it with you.
As soon as we get to Kamchatka, you'll be asked to get off the ship.
If you walk from there to Port Petropavlovsk...
...you should find another ship.
It's useless no matter where you run to.
I'm sure.
Why do you resist Lord Tenkai with such determination?
My father, my mother, and the people who raised me and rescued me...
...were all killed by Tenkai.
What's your name?
Oyuki.
Do you have a family?
I don't know. I was found and raised by Lord Tenkai.
Do you despise me?
Do you... want to kill me?
As soon as Lord Tenkai catches up with us...
...l'll probably go back to being a mere Shinobi, and take your life.
Now, do whatever you want to me.
Why won't you answer me?!
You can do whatever you like!
Stop it!
Looks tasty, doesn't he?
NO!
That's better.
What is?
I like you better that way.
Master! Hurry up!
Master, I'm glad. Now we can cross over to America!
Huh?
Tenkai!
So he DID come after me!
Sam, I can't guarantee your safety from here on.
This is good-bye.
You get on the ship!
No! If my master lives, I live. If my master dies, I die.
No!
This is it.
Take care!
I love you...
Do not fail me this time.
Oh, Master!
Avalanche!
Jiro!
Run! Quick!
Jiro!
Master! Master!
Let's try going to Santa Catalina Island.
If Master is alive, he's sure to go there.
Jiro might still be buried. I can't move from here!
If you dawdle around and the killers are still alive, you'll be killed, Oyuki!
If Jiro's not alive... I don't care if they kill me!
NO! Oyuki, you tried to save Master. I will protect you, Oyuki.
Master is alive, I'm sure of it!
Until you see Master again, you can't die, Oyuki!
Jiro!
America, State of Nevada
Water...
I want you to make yourself at home.
My home... is your home.
My daughter, Chico, is actually French.
When she was a baby, a dying French- woman was holding onto her.
As we were passing by, we took her, and she's lived with us since.
In our tribe, we give our lives to those who save us.
You are Chico's savior. Therefore, Chico belongs to you.
It's the law of our tribe.
I believe that, to live experiencing and sharing joy and happiness...
...is the true way of life.
Just once... I wish to be able to laugh from the bottom of my heart.
That is what I believe.
Brave man!
Jiro, what are you thinking?
Where might there be a place called Santa Catalina?
I know.
Huh? Where?
Beyond those two mountains is a bar by that name.
"A bar?"
What I'm searching for is an island.
But maybe the person who named the bar might know.
Hey, gimme some booze! Huh?!
Excuse me...
Go take another bath!
I would like to ask about the name of this place...
Does anyone know of an island named Santa Catalina?
Hear that? Santa Catalina! Ha!
Beat it! This is a place for whites!
Filthy bastards like you aren't welcome here!
Would you tell me who named this place?
I said, get lost!
Hold it!
Step outside!
They've been killed!
You can't be serious!
This can't be real! You can't be serious!
This can't be real!
This thing is scary!
My name is Mark Twain.
I'm a correspondent for the Sacramento Union.
You wish to know about Santa Catalina Island, correct?
Huh?
Are you an Indian, too?
No. Japanese.
"Japanese?"
Oh, Zipangu, the place that Marco Polo called a " Golden Country."
Speaking of gold, Santa Catalina Island has a legend of gold.
And it's a pretty romantic one.
Europe in the 17th Century was a time when people...
...from the overcrowded land set out to sea.
As the various nations fought for control of the sea...
...this era, with its ongoing disturbances of war, caused by the great fleets...
...became known as "the Golden Age of Pirates."
On May 23, 1701...
...Captain Kidd, the so-called pirate of all pirates...
...was hanged alongside the River Thames. After that...
...strange rumors began to surface.
They said that Kidd had hidden the colossal treasure he'd amassed...
...during his life somewhere, and left some sort of coded message...
...and a map for his descendants.
But before they could be handed over to those descendants, their whereabouts became unknown.
One place that's rumored to be where the treasure is hidden...
...is Santa Catalina Island.
The treasure is worth £25,000,000. In dollars, that's $100,000,000...
...so if it's all a hoax, it's a damn good one.
So which way is Santa Catalina Island?
Oh, it's about 370 miles south of here, in Los Angeles Harbor.
Thank you, Mr. Twain.
But, why did you even bother to tell all this to me?
When I saw you, somehow I felt my blood stirring.
I think I understand why that was, after I saw you fight.
Ever since the Industrial Revolution...
...man's awareness of time and space has completely changed...
...and guns and wheels have changed the West forever.
As more and more useful tools become available...
...people lose sight of their essential spirits...
...and perhaps change into another sort of creature.
There is something inside you that must not be lost.
I was drawn to you, who could awaken that something in me.
I have kept this from you until now.
This is something that your mother had with her when she passed away.

"Have the peak of the mountain to your back and look at the cliff."
"There will be a great saint standing."
"Standing where the saint is..."
"...acknowledge the face of the crescent moon before you."
"If you question the light, in effect, shadow will answer."
"In that precise moment, acknowledge the cross formed on the rock..."
"...and make your way inside."

Captain Kidd's treasure... Is this all there is?
So the pirate's treasure...
...wasn't worth risking your life for, after all.
That is just fine. Jiro, bring it here!
If you want it, come and get it yourself!
Fool!
If you want to save Sanpei, who has twice saved your life, do as I say.
Haven't you figured it out? The first time was at the base of Akandake.
It was Sanpei who interfered and enabled you to escape.
The other time was at the shore of Shiretoko.
After you fell victim to Kiheiji's magic, it was Sanpei, again, who threw a shuriken at you...
...using pain to bring you back to consciousness.
He deceived me, made himself look like a useless member of our clan.
But I saw through that long ago!
He's a Shinobi from Satsuma, just like Tarouza, who infiltrated my clan!
Sanpei!
Oyuki!
If you strike Jiro down as you should, I will spare your life.
Isn't it unbearable to kill your own brother?
What do you mean by that?!
Oyuki was the child of Tsuyu of the village of Sai, and Tarouza.
While she was still a baby, I switched her with a foundling, Sayuri...
...in order to thwart Tarouza's movements.
Even with different mothers, you and Oyuki are, in fact, brother and sister.
"Blood is thicker than water," they say.
Thanks to your ignorance of this fact, and your attraction to one another...
...our pursuit has at last been successfully completed.
Now, however, there is no reason for me to let either of you live!
How unfortunate that you must die a virgin!
No!
Oyuki!
Hold it, Hanzou!
Ji...ro...
Master!
O...Oyuki!
O YUKI!
Gravestone: " Oyuki"
Chico?
My real name is Julie Rochelle.
They're the same. Why do you have this?
Is there a place called "Nagasaki" in Japan?
Yes, there is.
This is the diary of my mother, Maria Rochelle.
According to this, my father, Francois Rochelle...
...apparently engaged in espionage for the French.
Together with my mother, he traveled to Japan. I was born in Nagasaki.
Then your parents were seeking this place, too?
Yes. But my father was killed in Nagasaki.
By whom?
By a ninja called Tenkai.
What?!
But it was a draw.
Apparently, my father shot Tenkai to death as well.
Th...That's not possible!
Shadows!
The one who died in Nagasaki...
...and the one who died here were both body doubles.
He could easily pull off such a trick.
Then that means that the real Tenkai is still alive.
Let's go back to Japan and find out.
Sam's hard work got us a steamboat!
Jiro!
This is your boat's captain!
Jiro!
Captain Drasnic!
Is this Captain Kidd's treasure?
What are you going to do now, Sanpei?
I shall return to Satsuma, and meet with Mr. Saigou.
"Mr. Saigou?"
He was your father's boss, as well as mine.
Why don't you go and meet him? He'll be delighted.
W...Why?
Jiro, do you have any idea what you've accomplished?
Why do you think your father risked his life to seek the treasure?
Why do you think Captain Kidd left all this treasure?
"If you question the light, shadow will answer."
"In that precise moment, acknowledge the cross formed on the rock..."

"Take it, and shine it in the darkness of the empty world."
You've single-handedly challenged the Shogunate to battle...
...and at last achieved victory!
The 300 year reign of the Tokugawa Shogunate is, at this very instant...
...crashing down with a rumble!
In 1868 (Keioo Year 4), the combined Satsuma-Chooshuu Army took the decisive course of overthrowing the Shogunate through force of arms. In January, the Booshin War broke out with the battle of Toba-Fushimi.
Anti-Shogunate Forces Beginning of March on Edo There is only one thing I can think of as a source of military funds...
Anti-Shogunate Forces Beginning of March on Edo
...that Satsuma and Choushuu would use as a base from which...
...to mount a military overthrow of the Shogunate: the hidden treasure!
But according to the report from my subordinate...
...all that was discovered were a few Spanish coins...
There is no need for you to be concerned, Lord Sadonokami.
The negotiations with the French Ambassador...
...have been concluded, and the price settled.
Very well done, Shogunate Treasurer Lord Oguri Kozunosuke!
So, how much?
$6,000,000, with Ezo as collateral.
Then, when the Shogunate becomes secure...
...Ezo will become a French territory.
Even if by some chance the rebel army entered Edo...
...as our strength is concentrated in the navy...
...we should be able to counterattack, using Ezo as a base.
In any case, Ezo is a land to be sacrificed!
I missed.
Tenkai, you ARE alive, after all.
But I won't let you have your way with Ezo!
Iga
My name is Jiro.
I am Fujibayashi Genjuuro. What brings you here?
I wish to hire Shinobi.
That is too bad. Now is not the best time.
Iga, Kouga, Nabari, Negoro...
...all the useful ones from this area have just been taken away...
...by the Shogunate Guardian, Lord Tenkai.
I imagined that there would be some left.
Gloomy guys like me, or some weird bunch of outcasts!
I don't mind.
You said that Sanpei referred you to me.
Are you someone from Satsuma-Choushuu?
No.
Then, are you with the Shogunate?
No. I'm a stray Shinobi. I follow no one.
Why are you trying to hire Shinobi, then?
I want to strike down the villain Tenkai and avenge those who have died...
...starting with my deceased father, Tarouza.
Are you Tarouza's son?
Yes.
If you plan on defeating the Shogunate Guardian, then why don't you...
...just join the rebel troops like Sanpei did?
Whether they be the rebels' or the Shogunate's ...
...it's ultimately a contest between soldiers.
All that will happen is a change of leadership.
I don't care about rulers and subjects. This is simply my personal battle.
Interesting.
This here is the Chief of the lga Hattori Clan.
Eight. At 5000 Ryo each, can you pay me 80,000 Ryo right away?
If it's 5000 each, then isn't that 40,000 for all?
80,000 Ryo. That's the calculation to use against Tenkai.
Jiro, you said your name was.
I gladly accept your request.
I am grateful.
Tenkai!
Having him as a pupil is the one thing I regret in my entire life!
Osaka
How long will the war continue?
Because of it, our open-market is in a mess!
Shogunate forces are putting up a thorough resistance, and...
...the navy's warships are heading for Ezo.
They must mean to fight until the bitter end!
Hey, are the rebel forces in danger?
In any case, it's the end for the Tokugawa as well.
You know the Shogunate Treasurer, Lord Oguri Kozunosuke?
I heard that he got beheaded by rebel forces at a riverbed near his home!
"So His Excellency has died. You'd better be alive, Tenkai!"
We're finished loading.
Good.
We're moving out.
OK!
Let's go!
Yeah!
Osaka Nara
Have you noticed?
We're being followed, for sure.
Iga Nara
Iga
Duly received: preparation fee of 80,000 Ryo.
Well, then...
Jiro, you fell into our trap!
What?!
The eight lga Clansmen who left here--they've all expired! Look!
What's the meaning of this?!
Don't you get it?
They're my men, all switched along the way!
Hanzou! I've fulfilled our agreement.
Chief! You've tricked me!
No. I will now fulfill my agreement with you as well.
The preparation fee that I received will cover 16 men.
Accordingly, I shall grant you the remaining eight lga Shinobi!
Chief... I am sorry.
Don't worry. Tarouza was my son.
What?!
I'm glad to be able to help my grandson.
Falcon of Shindo.
Redeyed Kokezaru!
Likewise, Nokizaru!
Gon of Nomura!
Likewise, Den!
Matawari of Kobe!
Kampachi of Otowa!
Jibachi of Tateoka!
Where do we go?
To Ezo!
On October25th of that year, the Army of the Shogunate occupied Goryookaku Fortress, in Hakodate. Ezo declared itself an independent nation.
N...No!
Do you hear me, Tenkai?!
Jiro... so it is you, after all.
Tengen Temple, Shiragami Mansion... all burnt to ashes.
Hanzou is deceased, and the Matsumae Clan is destroyed!
Why not come out?! Let us put an end to it all!
By the time Spring comes, when Goryookaku has crumbled...
...there will be no one left on your side!
At that time, we shall meet again!
Sam!
Yes, Master!
Stop calling me " Master."
Yes, Master!
Take care of Julie for me.
Captain.
You told me once that the lives of everyone aboard...
...were the Captain's responsibility.
Does that still hold?
Of course.
That puts my mind at ease.
When the rebels come, this area will be a battlefield.
I'd like you to take the ship someplace safe.
Yes, no problem.
Genjuuro, Nokizaru!
Yes.
Of the friends who came with me from lga, only you two remain.
Thank you for all you've done for me.
Jiro... why, you...
The Village of Sai, Shimokita Peninsula
In Spring of the following year, the Battle of Hakodate broke out. Imperial Government forces launched an all-out attack on Goryookaku.
On May 18, 1869 (Meiji Year2), Goryookaku fell, the Hakodate Army surrendered, and the Booshin Warwas thus ended, after a year and five months.
Jiro!
Good to see you alive!
So you are Jiro.
This gentleman is Mr. Saigou.
Sanpei has told me about you.
All this time, I was hoping to meet you.
Do I remind you of someone?
That year, Ezo was renamed Hokkaido.
